A belated book review thursday

Hey guys, 
it has been a while since my last book review but it has not been in vein. This week the Perfect Blood by Kim Harrison. If you've read any of my previous blogs you know that i LOVE kim harrison and the series this book is a part of. The Perfect Blood is the 10th book in the Hollows series. For a overview of the first 9 books look back at my other reviews. 
This book left off a few months after the last one ended. Rachel is still wearing her charmed silver and she is still playing cautious with demons, FIB, IS, and the always entertaining Trent (<3). After having difficulty proving she is in fact alive Rachel makes a deal with the IS to gain some of her privileges as a citizen back. A serial killer(s) has left a display in the park. A dead body half morphed into a monster. Rachel, Jenks, Ivy, and Rachel's bodyguard Wade are on the investigation. With a couple of clues, it seems like the human serial killers are looking to make their very own demon. Leading to a path of witch bodies that the IS and FIB can't seem to stop. 
This was a good continuation after the last book, which led me to really anticipate this book. There were a lot of memorable Trent and Rachel moments some better than others but overall satisfying my craving some movement in their relationship. I also appreciated Wade, the body guard, he was an interesting addition to the group especially with the limited Glenn interaction that happened this book.
This book wasn't disappointing although i craved a little more action and i think some of the moments between Rachel and Trent were a little forced especially with the elevator moment, and the garden moment. I do have to say that i wasn't expecting Al to make an appearance but glad he did... we all needed out witty demon fix.
Overall this was a four just because it was really hard to compete with the last book but did tie up and progress the series for the

So this week's song is just as infecting as last weeks. It's a relatively unknown group that i'm sure will be getting bigger. This song is upbeat, catchy, and if you judge the title happy and sappy. Who doesn't like it when a guy tells you you're beautiful? 
Enjoy,

Book Review Thursday is Back!

So today's book review thursday we are going to do the some more of the high heels mysteries by Gemma Halliday. Book 4 is called Alibi in High Heels and Book 5 is called Mayham in High heels. 
Let's start with the 4th one. Maddie is living her dream Jon Luc a famous designer in fashion week has asked Maddie to showcase her line of shoes in his fashion week show in Paris. But in usual Maddie fashion something always goes wrong. Right before Paris Maddie ends up with a broken leg, crutches, doctor's order to not wear heels, and her mother and Mrs. R. heading to Paris with her. 
Only problem the second day Maddie is in Paris a model ends up dead on the runway with none other than Maddie's stiletto sticking out of her neck. Maddie's MO. The police are all too aware of this too and begin questioning Maddie as their prime suspect. The person to come to Maddie's rescue when Ramirez is not around. Felix Dunn, the sleazy reporter from LA. They start out on yet another mystery together that brings Dana and Ramirez to Paris to help. When Ramirez insists Maddie stay out of it in usual fashion she ignores him and ends up in London and Milan hunting down the killer but every clue she finds leads her back to Felix. Is it really him or is she ignoring that's it him bc she might just remember their last kiss a little too well. 
Probably my favorite in the series the ending was amazing!!! 5 out of 5. 
The 5th book starts out with Maddie in the midst of planning for her wedding. I told you it was a relly good ending! Anyways right before her final cake tasting Maddie and Ramirez find their wedding planner dead in their cake. Now that Ramirez is the lead detective on the case and they are only days away from the wedding. Maddie has to balance solving a mystery and planning her special day. Maddie ends up forgetting half the things she needs to do, ends up running into Felix a little too much for Ramirez's liking and of course ends head to head with yet another killer. This book was hilarious especially when Maddie's mother and Ramirez's mother kept adding little things, clothing, food, another 100 or so to the guest list. All in all it ended with a funny book, a typical great ending, and more anticipation for the next book. I think i'm just bias now because i loved every single one of these books. 5 out of 5.
Next week look for the last installment of the High Heels Mys
